@Rio: Well, like I said: I may well be lacking some vocabulary here, as the word "vain" seems to be more insulting as I actually planned. It was supposed to confer the meaning, that one should not call oneself an artist, but let others decide if you are an artist. How would Democrit been seen by history, if he would have called himself "a great man". Being a humble person is never wrong. Cesar on the other hand, used to view himself as "the great general" and "the best of leaders". Well, Cesar is also seen as a person with a very serious inferiority-complex. I do not wish to get in a heated and insulting discussion with you and I do not want you to bite your tongue every time you write something. I find this discussion with you most interesting. Like I said: I do not wish to insult you. Maybe this discussion just shows that we have a seriously different view of what an artist is. @Flaxynn: Well, I can't force anyone to buy my product. If anyone thinks he could use the product he or she should buy it. If not, well - my income isn't really based on the renderosity marketplace - it won't hurt me. As for my position in this discussion: Well, why should I be ashamed of myself? At least I saw this as a discussion. It seems you are unable to discuss such things in a civilized manner, seeing a discussion as an exchange of insults. @JVRenderer: You may have missed the fact, that I do not consider myself an artist. I do consider myself an illustrator and graphics designer and I have no problem with using pre-created stuff to achieve something. As for Ki - Ki has a manga-esque morph in the package - something I could use for an online-comic I am doing with a friend of mine. We thought about using Aiko for this comic, but Aiko never found much interest in the community which resulted in only a very few items being constructed for her. All in all: I need not live up to my high standards for being an artist, as I do not consider myself an artist. I openly admit, that I am using other peoples innovation to allow me to create my images. But I am also not calling my pictures "art". Joerg
